September was our class garden month. We visited the garden and habitat to make observations and sketch.
We were AMAZED at how big the sunflowers had grown!
We had to get a closer look at this cicada that was hanging out on the tree in the habitat!
October 13 Pumpkin Patch Our class visited Lynd's Fruit Farm today. We used our five senses to learn more about the pumpkins...we even got to taste the Lynd Family Apple Cider YUMMY!
October 6 Mrs. Vann from Ohio Wildlife Education came to Barrington to talk to all the Informal first and second grade classes. She brought along some visitors to help us understand some of insects biggest predators. She even transformed Mrs. Stechschulte into an insect!!! We learned a lot about insects from Mrs. Vann. Did you know insects can taste and hear from their legs?!

September 22Habitat Day!We enjoyed Lydia's visit and learning about her bees. We also had fun making homemade paper out of toilet paper.
May 14 Today we went on a scavenger hunt looking for materials that birds use to build nests. We looked in the habitat and the garden for items like twigs, grass, mud, and leaves. While we were looking for different items we had a great idea ---- let's try to build a nest with our findings! So we took all the materials we collected an tried to build a bird nest. We discovered that is was hard than we thought.
Here are some of the comments shared while we were builds: "This is hard." "Remember birds are born with the instinct to know how to build a nest." "No wonder it takes birds weeks to build a nest, this is hard!"
